Italian scientists and astronomers place the
age of the world at not less than 100000
years, and are agreed that it has been peopled
for about 100000 years. The man who
drove six horses before the band wagon 49,
100000 years ago supposed he would be re-
membered for all time.-Detroit Free Press.
A Missouri sheriff went home in disguise in
the evening to see if his wife would scare.
She fired three shots at him so promptly that
he dropped his experiment and began looking
for the end Of one Of his fingers.-Detroit
Free Press.
A Hollander has been sent to prison for
twenty years for making diamonds out of

Jabber-Its very curious that fellows who
kick about high bonnets in theatres haven't
word to say about them in churches. Why

to church as general thing, and if they did,
who in thunder wants to look at minister's
legs anyway

THERE is very interesting account in
our dispatches this morning of an expert
ment, in New York city, with car heat

under any circumstances, of fire being
communicated to the car. Cremation of
passengers at a smash-up will soon be a
thing of the past.
